This paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks to predict the malfunction probability of the human-machine-environment system, in order to provide some guidance to designers of manufacturing processes. Artificial Neural Networks excel in gathering difficult non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system. We used, in this work, a feed forward neural network in order to predict the malfunction probability. The neural network is simulated with Matlab. The design experiment presented in this paper was realized at University of Pitesti, at the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology, Technology and Management Department.

Abstract: Most detection means on the anchorage integrity today still remain on the destructive testing level, which can hardly meet the actual needs of quality detection on large volumes of anchor poles in the anchorage engineering. This paper presents the application process of wavelet neural network in the non-destructive intelligent testing on the quality of engineering anchor poles. Taking the project of "Management Buildings and Museum of China Marine Sports School" in Qingdao as an example, this paper uses neural toolbox of MATLAB to do the network training by selecting training and simulation samples. The ideal training results indicate that with the help of neural toolbox of MATLAB, the application process of wavelet neural network can not only make intelligent evaluation of the quality of engineering anchor poles, but also make up traditional means, which can not detect large volumes of anchor poles.

Abstract: The concept of random tessellation is extensively used in wide area of natural sciences, especially material sciences. In this paper a simple but complete explanation of the random tessellation and mathematical tools requirements is presented. Then introducing the algorithm and the program for display random tessellation diagram was written. This program, with high speed and simple algorithm for random tessellation has the ability to change the level of statistical parameters such as number, mean, variance of the area of the grain. The ability to model microstructures of metals and grains for mechanical application, such as estimation of mechanical properties and crack propagation model in microstructure scale is very important. Finally, the microstructure produced by this program show good fitness of random generation with real microstructure.

Abstract: Aiming at the machined workpiece surface texture images,some technology about image pre-processing and the texture feature extraction based on gray level co-occurrence matrix are researched. Then it is time for the analysis of the texture characteristic parameters based on BP neural network and the identification and diagnosis of tool wear state, Finally the recognition diagnosis system interface is designed by Matlab-GUI.System simulation shows that the interface fusion of image processing and neural network is a good way to ensure the realization of tool wear condition recognition,what’more, the identification diagnosis rate is profect.

Abstract: The paper designs digital PI controller based on VHDL, which achieves closed-loop speed control of the submerged arc welding. And the controller has passed the compilation and simulation using MATLAB. The simulation validates that the design accords with the request of PI controller.

Abstract: For the characteristics of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) hoisting system’s nonlinear, time-varying and vulnerable to disturbance, based on the established PMLSM d-q axis dynamic model, designed of an improved BP neural network PID speed controller. Modified the fixed learning rate in BP neural network to adaptive adjustable, and added the momentum to reduce the oscillation tendency in the learning process, greatly improved the convergence speed and avoided the network into a local minimum. Compared with the simulations of traditional PID and the improved BP network PID speed controller, the results showed that the improved BP neural network PID speed controller had the high quality and it can make the system with better dynamic performance and robustness.
